Bench work for the Golconda section

Back in the July post First crossing of the Humboldt River I described the scene I wanted to create for the next section of the layout and had a good start on a pair of bridges. At that time I had named it the Golconda section as that is the name of the location where this scene is located.

Here is a photo of this section right now with the bench work completed. Because it is quite a bit smaller than the Wesso and staging yard sections I was able to build it entirely from scraps left over from those. The deck is from scraps of 1/4 inch plywood with the middle section set lower for the river.

This section will be an anchoring point with a sturdy metal bracket similar to those used on the staging yard on each end. The Paint booth will fit between the bracket and under this layout section.
